Played several hours at the Palms on a 25 cent 3-play 9/6 JoB. It was my first visit, and I easily and quickly gained enough points for a free buffet, which was as good as most. The machines I played on were in good repair--all the lights worked, no buttons stuck--and was comfortable. There is an abundance of good machines, though I didn't try any of the 100%+ machines, which don't earn as many points and aren't eligible for promotions (though I'm not sure what the implications are). I really enjoyed the Palms and highly recommend it to video poker players. wesroot

Computers were down when I arrived, so check in was delayed and I couldn't check my B-connected points. I assume this is rare. The room was as good as most and better than some. I slept well there, which is saying something. I played mostly dollar 9/6 progressive JoB at the bar near the sports book. Most of the machines were silent, but I found one at the back side of the bar that signaled winning hands. Machine was comfortable, staff was friendly and I had a good (and successful) time. wesroot

Take away the neon and annoying promotions and drawings and it becomes, for me, a five star casino/hotel. The drawing announcer last night had a voice that would be more suited to calling hogs. If you can score a suite here and you're in heaven. CHIEFVRWC

We were somewhat apprehensive after reading reviews complaining about smoke odor. Not only did we not notice smoke but the rooms were beautiful. My brother and I obtained Hero player cards upon our arrival which gained us discounts for everything and a free night. Casino was not too crowded (even on Sunday), not smoky and relatively subdued compared to many that are overly loud. Especially enjoyed the Water Lilly lounge with 99%+ bartops and their appetizer/sandwich type menu. We received free nights and plan on making the 5 hour drive from the NW Chicago burbs again soon. The 'Eagle' has instantly become our favorite midwest casino! markglim
